The University of Calgary Campus Fair was one of the first campus events we participated in. Campus Fair is an annual event held for children to explore science, media, engineering, and the arts through fun activities. The goal is to inspire them to think of the possibilities in the future, and showcase the different programs and faculties present at the U of C.
At Campus Fair, our team had a booth set up with fun crafts and contests. We made craft kids for children to make their own bacteria art, and ran pipetting competitions. While this was a lot of fun for the kids present, we also wanted to spread the word about iGEM and our project. Along with these activities, we set up the iGEM poster from last year's team, prompting questions about what iGEM was. These came from parents, older siblings, volunteers, and other faculty members that were present at the fair.
